Starting today's review of the updated Lada Priora 2014 model year, I confess that I was expecting the release of this car with great trepidation and impatience. I think many will agree with me that Lada Priora for Russia is not just a car, but a whole milestone in the domestic automotive industry, a symbol of a certain era, if you will.
Instructions
Step 1
So, let's begin! AvtoVAZ marketers decided to present the updated car in a somewhat unusual way for themselves. On the promo - site priora.lada.ru, they posted detailed details of all changes, main technical characteristics, photographs of the car and a configurator.
The new Lada Priora was subjected to a slight "facelift" - from the changes, a new false radiator grille, which received large cells in the form of honeycombs, catches the eye.
The front optics of the car received daytime running lights that will light up as soon as the driver turns the ignition key. The taillights and brake lights have been fitted with LEDs for the sedan and hatchback body styles.
The lower part of the rear bumper has been painted black. The factory says this adds practicality to the car.
The rigidity of the body was strengthened, and the body frame itself was modified by AvtoVAZ engineers to comply with European safety standards.
Step 2
But the interior of the car has undergone the most dramatic changes - you will find little in common with the pre-styling Priora in the cabin! Completely new front panel, covered with soft-look plastic. Visually, it is very similar to natural leather, and at the tactile level it is felt quite well. The plastic is resistant to scratches and mechanical damage.
Reinforced safety bars are located in the doors.
The minimum price for a Lada Priora hatchback is 353,600 rubles. Maximum configuration with 106 hp engine. can be bought for 446,100 rubles. The price range for a sedan is from 347,600 to 441,300 rubles, for a station wagon - from 375,600 to 450,500 rubles.
Step 3
The developers of the model claim that they have done a great job to improve the acoustic comfort in the vehicle interior.
The driver's and front passenger's seats received more developed lateral support, the longitudinal adjustment range was increased by 20 mm, and the front seat backrest tilt adjustment mechanism was modernized.
The car received a new instrument scale - it became even more convenient to read information, thanks to two informative wells - a tachometer on the left and a speedometer on the right.
The multimedia control unit is now installed the same as on the updated Lada Kalina. It has tactile buttons for music and Bluetooth control. There is a slot for an SD card.
The center console is crowned with a large touchscreen display that allows you to listen to music, radio, view videos, and photos. In the future, they promise to support navigation.
On my own behalf, I will add the following - Priora 2014 model year is definitely a car that deserves attention, and close attention! I think it will appeal to many of our compatriots of the most varied interests and ages.
This is how it turned out - the new Lada Priora 2014 model year! The choice is yours!
